Nanotechnology Commercial Organizations – Directory

Aposense is a clinical stage molecular imaging and drug development company, focused on the introduction of novel agents based on the identification and targeting of cells undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Fulcrum SP Materials is a nanotechnology company dealing with composite materials. The company is the only company in the world that uses a propriety protein to coat and bind nano-particles to fabrics, and to disperse nano-particles in matrixes and adhesives and by that, to enhance the performance of such fabrics and adhesives. The goals are stronger and lighter composite materials.

KiloLambda is an optical Nanotechnology company in the early stages of market development. The mission of KiloLambda is to develop and provide optical power control solutions based on innovative and unique nano-materials and nano-structures.

Nanonics is a nanoscale characterization company that manufactures scanning probe microscopes (SPM) and atomic force microscopes (AFM), with an emphasis on integrating them with other tools such as optical, spectroscopic, and electron microscopes. Among the more popular of these class if tools emerged the scanning optical microscope (NSOM/SNOM) and AFM-Raman microscope.

Nicast Ltd. develops superior medical devices from electrospun nanofabric for a wide range of clinical applications. Electrospun nanofabric is a biomaterial made of ultra-thin polymer fibers, with properties that mimic those of human tissues and organs.

Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. is a leading global semiconductor equipment manufacturer with solutions and services that are used by 21 of the largest 25 IC manufacturers. Nova's expertise in Thin Film and Optical CD & shape profiling metrology systems are addressing the complex measurement and process control challenges of High Volume Production (HVM) in 300 & 200 mm IC manufacturing, from 90nm to the demanding 45nm and 32nm technology nodes.

NST is a clinical stage molecular imaging and drug development company, focused on the introduction of novel agents (ApoSense - a small molecule 'Interfacial Nanoswitch') based on the identification and targeting of cells undergoing apoptosis.

Orionsolar is a developer of low cost solar energy using new generation dye cell photovoltaics. Dye cells generate electricity from solar energy using nano-sized titanium dioxide particles impregnated with dye, rather than from silicon or similar semiconductors. Orionsolar has developed new intellectual property which substantially reduces the cost of dye cells and increases the cell size.

The revolutionary technology of QuantomiX solves the problem of preparing wet samples for high-resolution imaging. It closes the resolution gap between conventional electron microscopy and light microscopy and offers the convenient sample preparation of light microscopy.

Salio develops novel smart materials, also referred to as Stimuli Responsive Materials (SMRs). The company's unique molecular architecture for smart materials relies on an innovative design that combines the signal recognition and actuation events at the monomer level to form autonomous smart building blocks.

The company's technology involves the encapsulation, at room temperature, of active ingredients in micro- and nano-sized glass (silica) matrices as well as nanospheres utilizing a chemical process called sol-gel.
